PERQUIMANS COUNTY, NC — Eight people in the Long View Estates community were taken to the hospital after an EF-1 tornado struck the Woodville, NC, area Monday morning, according to Perquimans County Emergency Services.

Emergency Services confirmed to News 3 that the storms damaged at least 13 mobile homes, three of which were demolished — not all of the homes were believed to be occupied.

The National Weather Service Storm Survey Team says the storm reached maximum wind speeds of 110 mph and touched down around 3:02 a.m. in a field just southwest of Longview Estates near Woodville Road.

"[We're] trying to get a starting point of where the tornado potentially would have touched down, and then working our way through the neighborhood to try to document the damage that we've seen," said Eric Seymour, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The storm team told News 3 that after touch down, the tornado quickly moved its way northeast, destroying numerous trees and sheds before lifting at 3:06 a.m.

Laquasia Hughes is a mother who lost her home in the storm. Despite the loss, she expressed gratitude that her family was unharmed.

“I have no idea how we’re not like [injured]," Hughes said. "It’s just no other way to say it other than that [God] was definitely with us.”

Among those affected was Tykinsten Wood, who shared his harrowing experience of survival when disaster struck.

"I just heard the rain coming down pretty hard, so I got up out of bed and looked out the back window," Wood recalled. "I heard the wind just start picking up all of a sudden, and something just told me to drop to the floor and cover my head."

Wood’s quick instincts proved vital, as moments later, his home was torn apart. “It shook a little bit, and then everything was gone—it was just that fast,” he said. “Once I realized, I was laying on the ground because I could feel the wet ground.”

Public safety and utility crew, and County Damage Assessment Teams were present in Perquimans County. Access to the neighborhood was restricted to non-residents.

According to Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Management’s Facebook, Perquimans County Emergency Services and the Inter-County Volunteer Fire Department responded.

This is a developing story — News 3 will continue to update this page.

"It literally felt like it was Dorothy off the Wizard of Oz," Laquasia Hughes said after finding her daughter safe Monday morning.

HERTFORD, N.C. — A tornado swept through a neighborhood in northeastern North Carolina early Monday, leaving behind a trail of destruction and sending several people to the hospital.

The Perquimans County Emergency Operations Center confirmed that 13 mobile homes were damaged at Longview Estates Mobile Home Park, located just off Woodville Road. Emergency responders remained at the scene throughout the morning to assess injuries and property damage.

As of Monday evening, three of the homes were entirely leveled by the tornado's destruction.

Ty Wood, who's lived in one of those homes for roughly 20 years, said the tornado lifted him from inside his home to outside his house before he sought refuge in his car until the tornado passed.

Despite losing the property he's lived in for nearly two decades, he's thankful to have come away from the storm without any significant injuries.

"Maybe just the way I was raised, brought up and worked hard. I learned to live my life and treat people to the best of my ability. I can’t explain it, maybe God has another plan for me. God said it wasn’t my time. It feels like someone picked me up, and set me out of harm’s way," he says.

Officials reported that eight people were injured, with three people being transported to the hospital for treatment. The Red Cross is assisting at least one affected family.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Camden, Pasquotank, Currituck, and Perquimans counties shortly after 3 a.m. At the time, a severe thunderstorm with the potential to produce a tornado was moving northeast at 50 mph near Elizabeth City.

NWS later confirmed Monday afternoon that an EF1 tornado, which has maximum wind speeds of 110 mph, touched down just after 3 a.m.

Even though roughly a dozen homes suffered damage Monday morning, many homes adjacent to them on the same block and within feet of the damage were still standing.

“There are times where these things pulse, enhancements in wind in certain spots. Those microscopic features are beyond what we can forecast," Eric Seymour with National Weather Service Wakefield said, surveying the damage Monday morning.

In the aftermath, residents of Perquimans County were struggling to come to terms with the devastation. Many families who went to bed under a secure roof awoke to find their homes in ruins.

Laquasia Hughes, a resident of Longview Estates, described her disbelief at the destruction.

"Looking at it now… How? I don’t have any idea," she said.

Hughes and her 6-year-old daughter were inside their home when the storm struck. She recalled feeling the force of the wind as it tore through her mobile home, leaving it in pieces.

"It felt like it was lifted, and tossed, and turned. Like it literally felt like it was Dorothy off The Wizard of Oz. It was scary," Hughes said.

Despite the devastation, Hughes’ daughter miraculously emerged unharmed, found standing on a dresser amid the wreckage.

Jerrod Grace was inside one of the leveled homes as the storm passed, and found his pickup truck buried underneath the rubble and debris from the home. Miraculously, the engine still turned despite the cabin being demolished.

“Once in a lifetime situation," he says. "It’s an eye opener, because you never know when mother nature is going to do whatever she wants to do.”

Nearby, another mobile home was completely destroyed, while a different trailer was flipped upside down. One residence in the direct path of the storm managed to remain standing.

A neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, described the chaos as the storm struck.

"While the storm was going on, I could hear people over here trying to help them out, yelling 'help.' The child was stuck in the house," he recalled.

The man and his family took shelter in an interior hallway away from windows, waiting for the storm to pass.

"We have a hallway in the house that’s away from all the windows and everything, so we all jumbled up in there and stayed there until everything quieted down," he said.

Now, as cleanup efforts begin, Hughes remains focused on what truly matters.

"You know, this stuff is materialistic. It is replaceable; we can make that happen, but our lives are something we couldn’t get back. So, I’m grateful for that," she said.

A strong cold front is moving through Hampton Roads and North Carolina, bringing severe thunderstorms and a flood threat.

NORFOLK, Va. — A powerful cold front is set to push through Hampton Roads on Sunday, bringing widespread showers, strong winds, and the potential for severe thunderstorms.

This same system spawned tornadoes in parts of the Deep South on Saturday, but while the severe threat is lower for our region, some storms could still pack damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall.

Ahead of the front, gusty southerly winds—potentially exceeding 40 mph—will develop as the atmosphere becomes increasingly unstable. The timing of the storms will be key in determining their intensity, with stronger storms more likely if they arrive before sunset.

Street flooding may also become a concern, as the front is expected to slow down over the area.
